Thread: Decaying homes/houses

I'm always having dreams in decaying/rundown homes. Usually the rooms are in color and more often than not, there is a really red room (like a room one would develop photos in). Windows are shattered, dry-wall is missing, exposed framework, mildewed wallpaper. What does this mean?? It's not always the same house, but the houses are always falling apart.

The interior of Houses can symbolise our inner life, our thoughts, emotions etc. We perceive the world through windows so if they are shattered, it distorts our view of the world & life. He elements can also come in & cause further damage.
It seems like the structure of the house is ok, it's just how it is maintained & presented.
Photographs can symbolise memories, things from the past.
Is there anything from your past that you are dwelling on or in? In terms of your thoughts & emotions? Maybe a past relationship?

Oh yes, absolutely. I've just been through a really hard breakup with someone I really loved. Everything was great, we never argued, we never even disagreed, we were very open and close with each other. Then one day he just disappeared. Stopped calling, texting, blocked me on all social media. It was so sudden and unexpected that I didn't know how to take it. I didn't get any closure. I was having dreams like this before him too. Letting go of things from my past, especially hurtful things, has always been hard for me.

I tend to agree with firewater. My take is that you are the house and you are feeling run down and neglected to put it simply. You have to take care of yourself. Best of luck.

That makes a lot of sense. Thank you so much for your advice and input

Ha!
Interesting, I dream of ruins/decaying houses a lot!

Just last night for example, but it's a different pattern in which they appear.
Usually I walk along somewhere and find such a place in a beautiful surrounding and first of all I go explore and then somehow decide I want to squat there and start cleaning and renovating and whatnot. Last night it was a little house close to a forest filled to the brim with all sorts of trash and the toilet was outside, opposed to the entry.

Even got that installed inside and moved in and was happy.

Weird, if only I was that energetic in reality!
I guess it means I should sort out my life, which I should indeed.

Thanks for the feedback. Something that may help is when you have these dreams think about fixing up the house & try working on it in your dream.

A relationship where there are no arguments or disagreement s may sound good. But it's a sign of an unhealthy relationship. One or both people are not revealing themself or not being real.

I'd suggest rejoicing when you have a disagreement or argument in your next relationship.
